How to Make Brown Onion Ale And Cheddar Cheese Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 large brown onions, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. Add 4 cups of beef stock and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, add 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced, and 12 ounces of brown ale. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender and easily mashed.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 8 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, grated. Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. (Note: vent the lid if using a regular blender).
  6. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley (optional).
